We are about to begin our Los Angeles Times tour. We're
across the street from Los Angeles City Hall. |
|
Once inside the building, we stopped in the Globe Lobby, the ornate entrance to the main 1935 newspaper building. |
|
But enough of the media stuff. Let's talk briefly
about what is truly important: Breakfast! These MC101s met with me before the Times field trip for breakfast at Philippe's, a fixture of Downtown Los Angeles since 1908. OK, back to the Times tour ...
|
|
We learned that the printing presses (which are many
decades newer than this model) are no longer at the Downtown location. |
|
Our tour guide, Darrell Kunitomi, showed
us the newspaper's library where the reporters do background research
for their stories. |
|
We really did wander all around the newsroom and other
parts of the Times. The MC101s had an excellent opportunity to see
how a major metropolitan newspaper operates, and to ask questions about it. On to tour walking tour of Downtown. |
